Greetings from a mild and dry Zimbabwe! It was 9 degrees C at 5:30am and it’s now 24c at Midday..so it’s warming up even though this is our wintertime!
Dear Friends of Jabulani, Greetings from a hot, dry and drought ridden Zimbabwe, we pray you are well and enjoying our Lord Jesus Christ. We have had a good start to 2024 with everyone back at school and exams galore on the horizon. Grace is in her O level year and is exceptionally busy studying and doing extra lessons to help her get the required results to continue onward toward her goal of sitting A levels, please pray for her, she is struggling with Math and ICT and needs to really work hard for the required results.
t’s high Summer, the temps are in the mid 80’s and we have had our first rains already. The children have just finished school today for the Summer holidays and Dorothy and I are looking forward to rest and fun having just returned to JABULANI after a wonderful fundraising trip to USA and a quick drop-in to our family in Northern Ireland!
Greetings from Jabulani Zimbabwe!
It’s Autumn now and Winter is fast approaching with colder mornings and nights but still mid 70’sF during the daytime, we are in full swing in our mid-school term and it’s all systems go for our precious children.
Grace, Blessing, Hope and Joseph are fully involved at Maranatha HS, they are studying well and would love to get better results in their exams, please pray they will understand all they are taught and will be able to produce what is needed in the exams ahead. It has been a great few months with these older children, our greatest goal in bringing all our children into our lives was that they would put their faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, so what a joy it was to baptism these 4 in April when our Grandson Daniel visited us from South Africa.
Greetings from a hot and wet Zimbabwe! We thank God for your prayers and love sent in so many ways over Christmas and New Year 2023, we are blessed to have you on our Jabulani team! We celebrated Christmas with a braii and presents, I preached in our Church on Christmas morning and Esther sang a beautiful song “Mary did you Know” while all the small girls were in the Christmas Nativity play, they all did so well, and we are very proud of them.
Isaiah 9:2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Jabulani, we trust you are all well and enjoying Jesus. We have had a great school holiday month with the children and while it was cold we really had a wonderful time as a family together.
Dear Friends of Jabulani,
Greetings from darkest Africa! Yes it is dark!
We are now surviving on electricity which is only available from 10-30pm til 4am ...it is a very difficult situation to say the least! When there are 13 children with all their assorted school uniforms and daily clothes to wash, dry and then iron it means our fantastic staff are working many hours of the night as well as all of us rising at 5am in the dark to get ready for the day ahead!
Greetings from a cold and getting colder Zimbabwe! The winter has arrived early with cooler mornings and nights and with 12 hour power cuts every day it’s quite challenging to say the least!
Our children are doing very well at school this term, behavior is much better and while not all of the children are academically minded they have done quite well in tests but have room for improvement in some subjects especially Math and Shona language.
Greetings from a hot Harare, the weather shows no sign of abating and it is very tiring and draining most days with high temps and little respite. The children are enjoying swimming and relaxing at weekends as they are very busy with lots of homework every day during the week.
Things have not improved much on the food side of life, the costs continue to escalate weekly and without the help of all our dear Jabulani friends we would be in real trouble but we are trusting God for all we need and He is showing Himself to be always faithful praise God! We continue to import most foodstuffs from South Africa every month and are grateful for those friends who have expressed a desire to help us with our groceries monthly.
Greetings from a hot and summery Zimbabwe!
We thank God for all the love, prayers, support and concern shown to us by so many of you during the past month, it has been a difficult and traumatic time but the Lord has answered your prayers and we are all safe, secure and blessed in His care.
After experiencing fuel shortages leading to us queuing up to 12 hours a day …
We greet you from a hot and wet Zimbabwe and trust you are good and enjoying life with God wherever you are in the world.
We alway’s thank God upon every remembrance of you and praise Him for your love, prayers and financial support for everything that goes on at Jabulani.
Over 26 months ago, our Ruth was taken away for a proposed adoption, and 3 weeks ago she was return to us…
